Wasn't that why he missed the other game?

Ugh. The injury bug coming to bite us right before the postseason. Hopefully after the first round, we have a 100% Kyrie and a 100% Kevin Love.

He'll be fine.

"Precautionary, it was?" Did Yoda take over Haynes' twitter account?

Got to be 100% for postseason success....hope he is okay.

Rest him another week. Don't force the issue and jeopardize a long playoff run with Kyrie.

Coach Blatt said he wants Kyrie to play in the game against Washington.. wtf? None of our starters better be playing that game.

I disagree, I think you need to play 12-15 mins to just keep rythem for playoffs. Don't want a huge layoff. IMO

We're not talking about rookies here. They are NBA veterans that know how to prepare.

Kyrie doesn't need to play Wednesday. He played yesterday. Look what that got? Taking 5 or 6 days to recoup and heal is a good thing.

I'm terrified. This is where it starts. Next thing you know, he will be shooting free-throws left-handed.

Mike Miller works with them as well I believe.

Well, Kyrie just quietly wrapped up one of the best age-22 seasons by a guard in league history.

Statistically while his raw production slightly dropped from last year his efficiency shot through the roof: to average a 22/5/3 on 47/42/86 splits is just shit-in-your-pants good. Only three other players, regardless of age, have managed to pull it off: Larry Bird, Steph Curry, and Chris Webber.

And Kyrie just turned 23!!!

Hopefully he gets the 3rd team All-NBA to show for it, but if he does get snubbed we can at least take solace in the fact the only other players to make three All-Star games at the same age were Isiah Thomas and Kobe Bryant. Jesus, now that's some company.

Can't wait to see what Kyrie does for us in the playoffs, but regardless of how far we go it's been a treat watching Kyrie take his game to a whole other level.
